Na Other Place Like It "The men and boys of our city naturally turn toward the Y. M. C. Elvkige said. 'There is no other place like it, no other place where they can find the same sort of thing they find in this building.

We do much free work, much work for the unemployed, much work for which we get and look for no finan cial return whatever, not even to meet overhead like light and heat." Elvidge said the was "fulfilling its real function as a community center" and predicted that in two more years the burden caused by the depression will have lifted and the association again be seil sup porting. "We want the people of Reading to know what is available to them here at Reed and Washington streets," the secretary said. "And we know that you will go out and tell them, and thai with confidence and faith we shall reach what we are striving for." Long Self supporting Walter W. vice president of the Y. M.

C. recalled that for many years the association ran along on a self supporting basis. When the new annex was built, he said, there was every reason to believe that it would prove to be more than self liquidating, but the depression defeated the plans made for it. "We are now declaring a new deal and laying our cards on the table," Moyer said. "We are telling you that between 600 and 1,000 men and boys use this building every day in the year.

We are telling you that we need $37,000 to carry on for the coming year. We believe it is up to us to do that job, and we are asking you to help us." Esick discussed finances briefly, declaring that receipts from dor mitory rooms, which are now about 35 percent occupied, fell irom a peak of more than $36,000 a year to about $21,000 last year. Iing Rigid Economy "Because of the severe winter, our coal bill increased by about $500, and there waa a $3,000 shrinkage in pledges from our last round up, for reasons all of you are familiar with," Essick said. "The causes for the present deficit are causes beyond anyone's control or foresight, and I want you to believe that we arrived at the $37,533 round up budget after the most rigid economies. Dr.

Runyeon and Beaver both spoke briefly, pledging their utmost support to the round up and asking for the complete co operation of every man present. Other speakers included Myron H. Clark, chairman of the last round up; Fred Verret and Tom Brant, of the Y. M. C.

It came about this way: At night, when the city is quiet, and the lights are low, and there are few creatures that stir except mice and reporters on a morning paper, then it Is the desk sergeants like to know who and what climbs the stairs of the Cedar street entrance. For the Cedar street entrance is the only entrance to the building at night. So that desk sergeants could see, the city fathers ordered a window cut in the wall that separates the desk sergeants from the stairs.

The window was completed. But lo and behold the window was not made large enough! It Is still possible to sneak through the door and ap the stairs without the desk sergeant knowing It.

Although he" filed nomination papers 15 minutes before the arrival of the official deadline, Moser's entrance into the congressional fight was said to be no secret in Democratic ranks.

Political leaders declared they saw In his activity during the Roosevelt 1932 campaign a determined effort to make a second try for the national post. Seriously Injured and confined to St. Joseph's hospital, he left the institution to take the stump for Roosevelt and with others spoke in many sections of the county. Working in the National Democratic headquarters in 1912, Moser helped to elect Woodrow Wilson to his first term to the presidency. Working gratutiously, his reward was a photograph from the newly elected President.

With Wilson's picture as the background, he conceived the idea of collecting autographs, of prominent Democrats engaged and associated with him In that presidential campaign.
